Still Kicking sorta

Warning..pictureless post....I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still alive..just recovering. Lydia had a horrible stomach virus thing that lasted FOREVER. It started Tuesday with her refusing to eat and saying her "tummy hurt". She had never said that before but I did not think anything of it...then Wednesday afternoon all hell broke loose, literally, from both ends of her poor body. By Sunday when she was still vomiting and such, we took a trip to the ER. She was showing some symptoms of appendicitis so off we went for a CAT scan. When that came back negative they needed to check for a UTI...horrible experiences. But after all that, the only answer we got was "it is most likely the flu". The ER doc told me to give her juice, no water, and salty food. Opposite of everything you read..but it seemed to work wonders for her. She still did not eat real food until that Thursday.
In the middle of all that, I ended up with the flu although not as bad as Lydia, then Aunt DJ got it, then Poppi, then Aunt Kathy and as I type this Nonni has it. The only one that has escaped it is Daddy...hmmmm. We had to cancel Daddy's birthday party, we spent Poppi's birthday in the ER...so I don't really have any new photos to share..but if North Marion's girls basketball team wins tonight we are going to Charleston this weekend to watch them play for the Championship. Good Luck Lady Huskies!!

Ugh. Sorry you all have been sick (except for that trick Mark...), but glad to hear you're on the mend. My friend had it and was down for 3 days. It's a nasty bug.

Glad to see you are among the living...I was starting to wonder.
